About me

Full introduction

I'm Brendan, a student at Columbia University. I study Computer Science with a minor in Africana Studies. I like hip hop, painting, cybersecurity, streetwear, soccer (guess my Premier League team), and of course, photography.

I started taking 35 mm film pictures a few years back before switching to digital. I love capturing slices of life; I enjoy finding the charm in imperfection and immortalizing candid moments. Portraits remain my favorite type of photo to take, though.

Outside of photos, here are some projects I've done and some places to find me.

I designed a curriculum and website for a research project to help students navigate the modern web landscape, from misinformation to AI generated photos.

I interned at cybersecurity startup Gr8 Eagle Cyber as a Security Intern and also spearheaded the website and marketing.

I used to make games in my free time. They were bad and I love them. Here's an example, called Updog. Click the link to play.
